I’ve been dealing with this issue for a few weeks as I’ve been messing around with HA on various setups before finally setting up my permanent setup. Right now I’m working with HA installed on my laptop (running windows 7) using the command py -m homeassistant --open-ui
to run the server whenever I want to fiddle with my setup. HA discovers the router, but only as a Gateway, so it only shows speed measurements, essentially useless since I wanted to use it for device_tracking.
The Netgear Genie Android App lists the router/gateway as supported according to its documenation
Cable Gateway:
- C7000
- C6300
- C6250
- C3700
- C3000
- N450
So, my question is How can I make my router work with the netgear device_tracking component?
I’ve read so many of the forum posts on here related to issues with the netgear device_tracker component and have tried all the variations in my configuration.yaml
file and messed with all the settings inside my router’s admin panel. Including disabling the Media Server/DNLA/ReadyShare setting & enabling Access Control. I can access the router control panel on the same laptop that is running HA, but still HA can’t seem to log into it.
I’ve opened an issue on the pynetgear github repo chronicling my attempts, methods & error logs in-depth. However, the github user who manages the repo has given up on trying to help. So, here I am, asking for help from anyone that might be able to help.
